Problem

A block of mass 2 kg rests on a horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is 0.4. The block is just about to slide. (i) Calculate the magnitude of the limiting friction acting on the block. (ii) Determine the angle that the resultant contact force on the block makes with the normal reaction.
